City Council members have conducted meetings in the Jackson County
Tower Building since the waterline burst, moving the clerk and treasurer's
office to City Hall council chambers on the second floor.

The
city's insurance carrier, Meadowbrook Insurance, has authorized reimbursement payments
for the whole claim of about $185,000. R.W. Mercer is the lead contractor on
the renovation work.
